Strawberry Pretzel

This recipe came from my grandmother, who got the recipe from Faye Cox. I don’t know who Faye Cox is, but this is a Jello dessert with several layers. It is probably actually called Strawberry Pretzel Salad. When I first read the title (when transferring recipes here) I thought it was a soft pretzel with strawberry flavor.
